Chapter 4: Using CCM Appliance Commands 45
Not every command will contain all syntax types. For example, the following command reboots the
CCM appliance.
>SERVER REBOOT
In this case, both SERVER and REBOOT are positional commands.
In most cases, one or more spaces separate positional commands, positional parameters and
keyword parameters.
For most positional commands, positional parameters or keyword parameters, you only need to
enter the first three characters. The exceptions are:
•
When you specify a terminal type with the Type parameter in the Server CLI command, you
must enter all characters.
•
When you specify an authentication method with the Auth parameter in the Server SSH com-
mand, you must enter all characters.
•
When you specify control signal monitoring with the Power parameter in the Port Set com-
mand, you must enter all characters.
•
When you specify the console port in commands such as Port Set and Show Port, you must
enter the capitalized abbreviation
CON
.
Port names may contain up to 32 characters, and must be unique; two ports on the same appliance
cannot have the same name. Port names are case sensitive. The name cannot begin with a number
or a space, nor can it contain a double quote (“) or comma (,). The name cannot be Names, All, Set
or Alert (in any case or any shortened form). If the name contains spaces, enclose the name in
double quotes whenever it is used in commands.
With the exception of usernames, passwords, port names and group names, commands are not case
sensitive; they may be entered in uppercase, lowercase or a combination. For example, all of the
following commands are correct.
> PORT 2 SET BAUD=57600 FLOW=XON
> POR 2 SET BAU=57600 FLOW=XON
> por 2 Set Baud=57600 flow=xon
> port 2 set baud=57600 flow=xon
NOTE: Usernames and passwords are case sensitive. These values are stored exactly as you enter them. For
example, the username “Ann” must be entered with an uppercase “A” and all other letters lowercase. The
username “ANN” will not be accepted as the username “Ann.” Usernames and passwords must contain 3-16
alphanumeric characters.
Any syntax errors are displayed, and where applicable, the error is underlined.
